We’re positively thrilled to welcome Nathalie and her charming fabric studio, Décors Barbares, to the showroom. If you’re not yet familiar with the line, you’ll soon come to realize why her fabrics have an elite AD 100 cult following.
Influenced by her Russian nanny, textile designer Nathalie Farman-Farma of Décors Barbares credits the majority of her inspiration to Russian culture—her collection of old Russian textiles, ribbons, art, embroideries, and porcelain regularly contribute to her creative process and design. Nathalie was raised in France with her French father and American mother until the age of 18. Expressing a love for fabrics as an adolescent, Nathalie would explore her French grandmother’s closets for tea dresses and other intriguing design contributions to the fashion world. As a young adult, she studied Classics at Brown and Columbia University before working as associate editor for The New Yorker.
#FabricFriday: 12 4th of July Inspired Palettes
This July 4th, in particular, we’re thinking a whole heck of a lot about what matters most in life. To us, that means freedom and true equality for every person - regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation, good health, kindness, and the extraordinary gift that is creativity.
And creativity most definitely struck as we were pulling these festive red, white and blue palettes together. Enjoy!
